I have heard this problem before. All you members if you are going to pay a gunsmith for an Open Gun. Wait until you have the money for a known gunsmith. There are many out there and not to mention all of them is unfair. I have three at this time and all run great.Absolutely no problems at all. You still get what you pay for. I have been exactly where you are right now. A local gunsmith built a Caspian frame into Open and cost me another $2000.00. It was a piece of junk.Good luck with your Open Gun. They are unlike any other pistol.

Sent back Pact/Chrono/Timer three months ago. Not happy at all. I have been using them since 1996.
When it still does not work maybe they will make a new one. Called them no one answered.

I am in New York State north of NYC. We are waiting for Irene. The last time I lost power for four days. I never left my home and you guys know why. But I wasn't worried either. Good Luck to all.

Yes,it is true.Mr.HS Smith does not work on the tuned mags anymore. I have four and take very good care of them. They are like gold. Thank You again HS Smith. I was lucky to get your mags.

As many members have said. Shoot it without the scope. Who made this Open Gun?
-
In reference of all bags. They all are not that great. And I have had them all. If I had the material I would make a bag better than any of them. Almost all of them where they sew the cloth comes apart.Some have only one line of thread going through it. The handles are the first thing to come apart.From now on I will buy cheap bags and throw them out after each year. Sorry for the rant ladies and gentleman.

You will like the Safariland 013 holster. It is very solid and will work for all STI or SVI frames.

I have both CR Speed belts and Safariland Belts and holsters. Don't ask me why but I am liking the Safariland stuff better. I have many old belts and holsters. Almost all are Safariland. I must say that the mag pouches are better than CR Speed. I also have Ghost holsters and Limcat. Have not tried DAA Master Holster or belts,Yet.

Just started using SuperComp for my 38 Super. My chrono that day died but I got 1385 with 7.9grs. I was using VV for many years.But way before that I always used Winchester Powder.

I have three Open Guns,Gans,Bedell and Innovative Customs.Lately I have been shooting Jim's,Innovative Customs Gun. It does not have all the flash stuff but it runs all day and all night. Jim works all by himself and he is about 8 months for a new pistol. I think the price is around $2700 to $3000 or around there.But I remember what he said when I received the Open Pistol: Shoot the hell out of it. It will not jam. You will not be disappointed by Gans,Bedell or Innovative Custom.

Brian,Sorry for your loss. Your Father was the best man you knew for all your life.

Check Arredondo Manufacturing .I ordered four belt keepers from him. They also work quite well. Arredondo has been making parts for many years. The keepers only cost $4.50 each. They may help you also and they don't wear out like Velcro.

He is only 12 years old. I hope he has a girlfriend in the next few years. Then we wont have to shoot matches with him. You have a great son there, congratulations. I have seen adults who can not shoot as good as this young man.

The show is really funny. If this is a real gunsmith don't send them anything. The alligator thing was a big joke.It reminds me of a Zip Gun. Personally I don't want to shoot an alligator with nothing less than 7.62mm.

I have sent many pistols to Metaloy Industries Inc for 15 years. I even sent him one when a known gunsmith warned me not to hard chrome it. Chris Peters has been hard chroming guns for years. He also worked for a very great gunsmith.
E-Mail Chris at metaloy@alltel.net or www.originalmetaloy.com. phone 870-423-4225. I am sure you will not be sorry for having Chris hard chrome your pistol.

HS Smith Mags. Nothing is better. They work excellent in all three of my open pistols. Unfortunately Howard isn't doing them at this time. I was lucky to get four of them. I have SPS mags and STI mags also.

Sitting in front of a picture from 1995 of myself and a friend who were ready to start a match shows my old Caspian open gun. This was made by George Smith of EGW. The comp was the same size of the slide. It had a full profile comp and the comp had three chambers.It was made at 1992 and cost about $2200.00. It was a very accurate and reliable. I think this is the same comp or one like it. The caliber was 38 Super. It still runs today.

I did the same as Mark K and never had a problem. I own four of them. But if they start to move I will go with Aimpoint.

Take a look at DSA Rifles. They work quite well. Any barrel,stock or sight will work. The rifle will last so many years you will love it. IT Kills Zombies no matter what. It has touched the elephant nightmare world many times. And I don't mean the four feet type.

I have four 140 mags and one 170 mag. Each have new Grams followers and springs. How much would you like to pay for them?
Due to some unexpected medical bills(insurance sucks) I cannot purchase the 170mm of you right now. But soon as I get caught up I'll PM you. How many 9mm can You get in your 170mm ? And is it reliable?
All have been tuned by a known gunsmith. The 170 holds 28.

Since I started shooting IPSC in the old world of the 90s. All my guns are hard chromed. I do remove all the small parts because they don't need hard chrome. I have no jams,no broken parts. I have three Open pistols built by Gans,Innovative Customs Guns,and Bedell. There is many types of finishes which are great beside hard chrome. All my pistols were hard chromed by Metaloy Industries Inc.

I wonder if we can convince him to go to the dark side. A man who believes nothing can stop him or slow him down. Good luck .

I have both ball dent and set screw. With the set screw I use a little amount of blue loctite. It never comes loose nor does it fly off.

MDA I hear your pain. Good Luck. Most of them will try very hard to fix your Open Gun.
